- (New York Post) In a picture widely distributed to the media last month, a normal-looking Couric wore a frumpy light gray suit and her trademark smile.
But thanks to Photoshop, the popular editing software, the same photo, printed in a CBS magazine, shows her looking much, much thinner - and her suit has become a few shades darker.
[I've blogged before rather flippantly about but this article credits the software as a proper noun. But there's no source for the implicit claim that Photoshop really was the software used, rather than, say The Gimp.
The conventions and standards of a PR department differ from those of the news department. I think it's reasonable to assume the news folks had no idea this would happen, but the before and after photos really do remind us how much the TV personality cult is driven by image, rather than talent (accuracy, insight, depth, etc.). --DGJ]
... Ibsen 2006
- (Ibsen.net) Ibsen.net is the official Internet site for Ibsen year 2006 and is by far the largest website about Henrik Ibsen on the world wide web, as regards both sheer volume of information and number of users.
[A portal for world-wide activites recognizing the 100th year of Ibsen's death. A theatre facutly member just called me up to ask whether I'd be interesting in participating in an evening program on Ibsen. (I said yes.) --DGJ]
... 10 O'Clock News Team Relying Heavily On Work Of 6 O'Clock News Team
- (The Onion (Satire)) Despite claims from the TV news outlet to offer "nonstop news" and "coverage you can count on," an Onion investigation has uncovered hundreds of instances in which KAMR Channel 4 10 O'Clock Eyewitness News team relied almost exclusively on news reports, weather forecasts, and even special-interest features already generated by the station's 6 O'Clock Eyewitness News team.... Star Trek's a thesis
- (The Age) Among the dark corners where Dr Baker's thesis - titled - shines light is the changing link between the starship Enterprise's intergalactic adventures and the real world's space race.
Shatner's monologues were inspired by the visionary speeches of JFK, advocating greater exploration. Thirty years on, the roles were reversed, with astronauts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration guest-starring on Star Trek spin-offs to promote their underfunded existence. --
[Come on, headline writer. You can do better than that. --DGJ]
... Can Your Students Read TV?
- (Media Literacy Review) Of course, students already know how to read the highly emotional and symbolic language of television. They learned it informally by clocking in an average of 5000 hours in front of the set before they reach school age -- the same amount of time it takes to jet around the world 148 times, or orbit the moon 30 times. But just because students are sitting slack-jawed and motionless in front of the set, it doesn't mean their minds aren't hard at work. Contrary to popular wisdom, television watching is not a passive activity.
It takes concentration to make sense of contemporary television. Narratives are broken by commercials, flying graphics, rolls and crawls, fast cuts and fades to black. Students may not have the vocabulary to articulate to adults how they make a story out of this hodge-podge of images, but on a rudimentary level, they already have a firm grasp on the grammar of television. In order for them to be fully aware that television is carefully constr... Dinky Pluto loses its status as planet
- (Yahoo! News (will expire)) "It's disappointing in a way, and confusing," said Patricia Tombaugh, the 93-year-old widow of Pluto discoverer Clyde Tombaugh.
"I don't know just how you handle it. It kind of sounds like I just lost my job," she said from Las Cruces, N.M. "But I understand science is not something that just sits there. It goes on. Clyde finally said before he died, 'It's there. Whatever it is. It is there.'"
[I think reporters call something "dramatic" when they have already reported something else -- in this case, the astronomer's trial balloon of calling Pluto a "" and thus not completely kicking it out of the planetary canon. Pluto is now a "".
Next we'll hear about losing its job as Mickey Mouse's sidekick.
Loosely related: I will check out this Palm astronomy application later: http://www.aho.ch/pilotplanets/
Update:
My kids had a "Pluto party," where they ate cold chocolate and sang, "We love you Pluto, oh yes we do "

- (Inside Higher Ed) The computer was how I wrote! My attachment was dangerous as it now threatened to derail my progress on numerous projects, not the least of which was a manuscript I hoped to finish editing by the end of August. Losing time seemed impossible. I had to push through and figure out a way to adapt, to change the way I was working. I had to challenge my fixed thinking about my writing.
As my initial panic subsided, I saw what I could do alone, independent of my favorite technology. --
[I actually enjoy developing a syllabus in fits and starts, as ideas and inspirations strike me, and I jot them down in my Palm computer accordingly, when I'm in line in the grocery store, or when the kids are playing together nicely and I can spare a few moments.
Everything feels very different when I'm hunkered down in front of my keyboard in my office.
There are certain brainstorming and editing activities I prefer to do with pen and paper. I'm not so sure I'm interested in writing ... New Evidence Calls PDK School Choice Poll into Question

This is not just another Greek letter.
It's a term that relates two important parameters;
If you know the circumference, you can find the diameter.
Jenny, you need this number;
You should keep it in mind.
Jenny, plug in this number:
Three point one four one five nine.
(Three point one four one five nine.)
Three point one four one five nine.
(Three point one four one five nine.) --
[From a great collection of science songs.
The singers have heart. In this recording, the backup singer is clearer and louder than the lead singer, so it's a bit disorienting --DGJ]
... Mindset List for the Class of 2009
- (Beloit College) 1. Andy Warhol, Liberace, Jackie Gleason, and Lee Marvin have always been dead.
2. They don't remember when "cut and paste" involved scissors.
[Always worth a read. --DGJ]
... Elmo Is an Evildoer
- (L:A Times) When I watched "Sesame Street" in the '70s, the human cast and the Muppets were quirky adults who didn't talk down to me with baby voices. Now the human cast gets almost no airtime, and the show is dominated by Elmo, Baby Bear and, now, Abby Cadabby -- preschoolers enamored by their own adorable stupidity.
The lesson they teach -- in opposition to Oscar, Big Bird, Grover or Bert -- is that bland neediness gets you stuff much more easily than character. --
[E is for . F is for flamebait.
Is Elmo the Jar-Jar Binks of the Sesame Street franchise? --DGJ]

... Games get serious
- (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists) A euphemism like "decision-based simulation" maybe, but rarely a "game." To many, video and computer games represent an adolescent diversion, a parental annoyance that thwarts homework, chores, and all things productive. So when FAS and others stump for games as an educational or training tool, they begin by stating the problem: "You oversee a very complex system," or "You want to reach a new audience." The notion of a game providing the solution comes later. Such is the way when establishing a new medium. --... US man survives chocolate ordeal
- (BBC) Rescue workers and staff at the Debelis Corporation used cocoa-butter to thin out the chocolate and pull him free.
